What a speeding ticket costs in Kentucky
| Typical fine | $20–$100 + court costs (roughly $2 per mph over in many courts) |
|---|---|
| License points | 3 points (10–15 mph over) or 6 points (16–25 mph over); 26+ over can mean suspension |
| Insurance impact | A speeding conviction typically raises Kentucky premiums 15–20% for three years while it remains on your record. |
| License risk | 12 points within two years triggers a Transportation Cabinet suspension hearing; speeding 26+ mph over can bring suspension by itself. |
Frequently asked questions
Three points for 10–15 mph over the limit and six points for 16–25 over. At 26 or more over, the Transportation Cabinet can move to suspend your license outright — those tickets need a defense, not a checkbook.
Completing state traffic school keeps the points off, but eligibility is limited, it's typically once every so many years, and CDL holders can't use it. An attorney can often negotiate an amendment that protects your record without burning your traffic-school eligibility.
Usually not. Kentucky district courts routinely let an attorney appear for you on a speeding case. We connect you with a licensed Kentucky attorney who handles the appearance and negotiation — especially valuable for out-of-state drivers ticketed on I-65, I-75, or I-64.
Points count against you for two years from conviction, though the conviction itself remains visible longer — and it's the conviction insurers price against. Keeping it off the record entirely is the best outcome.
Almost always — the fine is the small part. Three years of insurance surcharge on a conviction typically dwarfs both the fine and the attorney fee, and points bring you closer to a suspension hearing.
